WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — It has been one year since Wausau’s City Council voted to not allow alcohol consumption before 4pm on the 400 Block.
Wausau Police Captain Todd Baeten tells WAOW Newsline 9 that the ordinance seems to be doing its job.
“Since this ordinance was passed, it looks like officers have only responded a couple times to the 400 Block for complaints of people drinking before 4pm,” he said.
There was some concern that people may just drink somewhere besides the 400 Block before 4pm. Captain Baeten says they haven’t noticed anything like that around the city.
The City Council will decide whether or not to continue the ordinance in October of this year.
